Analysis Of The Movie Inside Out

Decent Essays
Inside Out is a movie that is a children’s movie that is based on the psychological development of the brain. The movie shows how Riley’s brain is moved by emotions, anger, joy, sadness and disgust. Joy is the main character just because in Riley’s early childhood her core memories all had to deal with joy. Memories from the childhood help develop the child’s brain the most because the memories help the cognitive part of the brain. The culture and self-esteem have a lot to do with the memories and how a child’s attitude is towards things.
Informational processing in the movie Inside Out occurred when Riley moved to Los Anglos and was stressed out with her new school and new surroundings. Informational processing is the brains development

The sensory memory is the first stage in the information processing which helps develop the brain. When children are developing their brains using sensory memory they retain memory to sounds better than sight. This is an example of how babies can learn words long before they can learn how to write. Sensory memory does not improve much after the age of 10 because that is when working memory starts to come in to play. Working memory is also known as short-term memory and it improves most of the way through the child’s middle years of their childhood. The memories do not appear right away and the child might have to wait because the memory is still being developed. In different cultures, children learn different ways to teach themselves or different strategies. “Many Muslim children are taught to memorize all 80,000 words of the Quran, so they learn strategies to remember long passages and these strategies are unknown to non-Muslim children.” (Berger, …show more content…
Riley demonstrated this when she got off the bus and realized that her parents were more than what she needed, so she had to go back to them. As children get older they learn to follow rules and can also make their own rules. For example when playing tag children know the concept, but when they get older and their brain becomes more developed, they can then alter the game with their own rules. Elementary students sometimes do not listen to the teachers and ignore the rules, which is completely controllable and normal at the same time. When the teacher enforces the rules to the children the development of the cognitive part of the brain is developed at a much quicker rate as well. Athletes also gain knowledge of the rules as they play the game and every year in baseball there are more rules added as children go up an age division. During coaches pitch the kids only have to worry about the basic rules and as they grow older they will have to learn what a drop 3rd strike and a baulk is. The brain development with sports goes back to memory, but with sports the memory is just not in your brain it is also in the muscles. That is why it is called muscle memory, which is why Tom Brady can throw a spiral on a line to his receivers, or Stephan Curry’s jump shot is all muscle memory because he has practiced it so much. Muscle memory is developed by brain development and repetition

    The movie “Inside Out” is a children’s movie that is based on emotions and how we feel. There are a couple of scenes in particular that show dreams as if you are experiencing a movie. The first dream is when the main character Riley is dreaming of being at her new school in her underwear because she is afraid of her new school.

    Inside Out Theory

    The first of these theories is the James Lange Theory. The basic idea of the James Lange Theory is that once an event is processed in our minds, then we feel an emotion that correlates with the event to allow our mind to reason (Myers 464). An example of this theory in the movie Inside Out is when Riley is sitting down having dinner with her family in their new house in California and she has already lost Joy, her driving emotion in life. When she is asked a question by her mother that she would have normally wanted to talk about she sits there quietly for a second processing the question (the arousal). Because Joy is no longer in her head, disgust tries to respond to the question as joy would but comes off very rude and abrasive (the expressive behavior).…

Riley has Joy, Fear, Disgust, Anger, or Sadness connected to a memory.…

    In the movie Inside Out, the main concept that is portrayed is how memory works. Certain specific topics that relate to memory that are in the movie include REM sleep, long term memory, dream theories, flashbulb memories and interference, to name a few. The way that some of these topics are portrayed in the movie are correct, and actually give an accurate, but comedic interpretation of how the memory works. Although the movie has some moments where concepts that involve memory are not necessarily correct, overall it gives a relatively accurate display of how information is processed in people’s minds. To start, the movie mainly focuses on short-term memory, long-term memory, and R.E.M. Sleep, and the way they are portrayed is close to how the…
